Abstract

Paper deals with the comparison of the total indebtedness of companies in the 15 member states of the European Union and in 10 sectors. The median values of indicators of debt to assets ratio, long-term credit indebtedness and short-term credit indebtedness are selected for measurement. The results of the analysis show a wide range of values achieved by country and by sectors. Some conclusions can only be made about certain preferences of long-term or short-term credit indebtedness within some countries or some sectors.
